🎙️ Scalpel, suction… and a set of donor lungs?! In Part 2 of our cardiothoracic & transplant surgery special, we head back into the high-stakes world of the operating theatre with Dr Agneta Geldenhuys and Dr Oyinda Orundami from Fiona Stanley Hospital. 🫀🫁 This time, the stories go deeper, the stakes get higher, and the hearts (and lungs) are literally in their hands.

From the operating theatre to the ICU, we unpack everything from surgical precision to life-saving teamwork — and even a few unexpected tips along the way:

🍞 Why oats + chia might just beat toast as your pre-surgery fuel

🩻 What’s really going on with the new lung cancer screening program

🦾 How surgeons manage a 540° rotation without breaking their necks
